        fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev
    
    we have a static dependency between fbcon and fbdev, and we can
    replace the indirection through the notifier chain with a function
    call.
    
    v2: Sam Ravnborg noticed that mach-pxa/am200epd.c has a notifier too,
    and listens to this.
    
    ...
    
    Looking at the code it seems to wait for some fb to show up, so that
    it can get the framebuffer base address from the fb_info struct. I
    suspect his is some firmware fbdev. Then it uses that information to
    let the real fbdev driver (metronomefb.c by the looks) get at the
    framebuffer memory.
    
    This doesn't looke like it's easy to fix (except by deleting the
    entire thing, seems untouched since 2008, we might be able to get away
    with that), so let's just stuff a few #ifdef into fb.h and fbmem.c and
    cry over them for a bit.
